Apple Planning to Launch a New iPad Mini
Although Apple’s new iPad has only been on store shelves for weeks, the company is planning to launch a new slate, called the iPad Mini. Rumormongers have been spreading tales of a miniature, 7-inch Apple tablet since before Apple even released its first iPad in 2010. It’s reported that the pint-size Apple tablet will land in the third quarter of this year to “counter attack” upcoming Windows 8 tablets and 6 million units will be ready for launch, and the smaller tablet could sell for $249 to $299.
The device will come with a smaller screen size and a far more affordable price tag, and compete against Amazon’s Kindle Fire and the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet. If and when the device launches, it could be a sales juggernaut. Foxconn and Pegatron are reportedly making the mini iPad. As Kotaku pointed out, "Pegatron was at one point a subsidiary of Asustek, who are currently working with Google on the next line of Android tablets.” While Steve Jobs himself has dismissed the notion of a smaller iPad, rumors have continued to pop up that Apple is readying a smaller version of its iPad. The success of Amazon's Kindle Fire, which has sold well largely thanks to its lower price tag, may have convinced Apple that there is an opportunity for a smaller, more affordable tablet. Analysts have said such a device would help it maintain its lead over competitors.
Apple has a 7.85-inch iPad in its labs, various claims of Apple moving closer to production of the smaller iPad have also been surfacing as rumors continue to swirl. Apple may be preparing the smaller iPad as a response to the expected launch of competitive devices running on Windows 8, according to the report. While Android tablets haven't sold as well, Microsoft could have more luck given the potential to integrate desktop, laptop, and tablet operating systems. Rumors about a smaller iPad have been circulating since before the March launch of the new iPad, which retained its 9.7-inch size. Back in December, there were reports that Apple had purchased 7.85-inch panels from LG Display and AU Optronics. Then in February the Wall Street Journal claimed to have a source who confirmed that Apple was testing the new, smaller screen line of tablets.
Apple is expected to launch the iPad Mini at some point toward the end of 2012. When that happens, the last thing Apple should do is bring iOS 5 to the device. Apple will likely launch iOS 6 over the summer, making it a near-necessity for the company to bundle its latest software in the device. A recent report from Gartner said that Apple will maintain its tablet dominance for years. About 61.4 percent of tablet purchases this year will likely be for the Apple iPad, while Android tablets will probably make up 31.9 percent of tablet sales in 2012.

Amazon’s E-Ink Kindle Will Feature a Front-lit Screen
According to the report of TechCrunch, Amazon’s next-generation Kindle will feature a “glowing” display. Amazon bought the Oy Modilis Company – the world leader in light-guide technology in 2010, and plans to adopt the light-guide technology to the E-Ink Kindle e-reader.
The E-Ink Kindle would target a different user demographic than the popular Kindle Fire, which is designed for tablet-style activities like gaming and video streaming–two uses poorly suited for today’s non-backlit, monochrome e-paper displays with very low refresh rates. It was that blue-white glow found in uncorrected white LEDs, not the warm light on off-white that most people associate with books by lamplight. But, of course, the e-ink screen is in fact grey and dark grey, not black on off-white, as paper is, so a cooler light may actually work better. At any rate, they are apparently sensitive to these issues and looking into it. An e-Ink screen might make the Kindle better to readers of children’s books, graphic novels, and textbooks.
Coldewey, who lives in Seattle near Amazon’s offices, writes: “The device I saw was crudely camouflaged in a sort of cardboard enclosure, but the screen was clearly visible. With a tap, a slider popped up on the screen, and as it was dragged to the right, the screen lit up evenly with a rather cool light. In the dark, it was plainly noticeable as a glow, and in uneven light — say, shade or a shuttered room — the slight illumination made the screen much more readable.” As for the shape of the device, it was impossible to tell, wrapped as it was in its little cardboard box. But the size appears the same, and the whole point of purchasing the light-guide company was to get the team and their patents, which essentially laminate the light diffusion layer right onto the screen without adding much in the way of depth or interfering with the touch system.
The new Kindle doesn’t look like it’s going to address all of the issues with this kind of device, but the improved display will definitely set it apart from its rivals. We’ll know for sure when it comes out later this year, the future may bring hybrid, switchable displays that offer the best of both worlds in tablet-oriented tasks such as games and video; and monochrome e-ink for reading, predicts IDC analyst Bob O’Donnell.

Nearly 600,000 sets Mac get infected by "Mac Flashback", How should we protect ourselves.
Thanks for iPad Converter, DVD to iPad delivering this article.
Science and technology media publisher Paul Wagenseil today in Fawkes news wrote, a called "Mac Flashback" malicious software has infected global nearly 600,000 apple Mac. In the article he noted that, Mac users need to do three things to protect themselves from the attacks by malicious software.
The following is the full text of this article:
Well, Mac users, judgment day is coming.
Because the apple fails to be introduced patches for well-documented defects, a called " Mac Flashback" malicious software has infected nearly 600000 apple Mac global( data from the Russian security company Dr . Web ).
Here are three things that you need to do:
-- check whether your Mac has been infected by Mac Flashback. Social network site Mashable has created a script to help users to achieve this point, the users can visit Mashable landing site according to the guide to check.
If the script has found Mac infection ( Mac OS X file system in one or two places may be infected), so it will be complex to clear. Then users need to enter Terminal application, according to the Finland security company F-Secure lists the detailed steps to remove.
-- Use the latest security patch apple provided to upgrade OS X. Apple released earlier this week by OS X 10.6Snow Leopard and OS X Lion patch, but in April 5th apple has just upgraded the OS X Lion patch.
If you are using PowerPC chip based on OS X version 10.5 Leopard Mac, Apple will no care for you( reason you can see below ).
-- a deep breath, and then said to yourself:" Steve Jobs has died, and my Mac is not infected with the virus." Then install a reliable antivirus product. Immediate action must be taken, brook no delay.
Antivirus software Apple bundled with OS X 10.7 Lion system can not protect the users, neither the upcoming release of the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion system Gatekeeper can be.
Users can have a look at the paid products of our sister site TopTenReviews, you can also visit the British security company Sophos website, download the free Mac anti-virus software.
In addition, there are two things to be likely done:
-- Close the Java runtime engine, if you do not use it.
As a platform independent environment to run web applications and perform other tasks, Java has too many defects, so unless absolutely required, you have no reason to open the Java runtime engine. Open the Mac OS X system in the Java parameter tool, check all the options, and then restart.
Unfortunately, Adobe Creative Suite Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign application requires Java environment to run. In this case, you have to trust again apple, although this time Apple was on slow action in helping users . Two months ago, Windows and Linux version of the patch have been launched, to repair the Java defect Mac Flashback making use of.
-- if you are still using PowerPC Mac, then it is time for a change.
Apple excellent hardware means, there are still millions of PowerPC Mac still in use and operation is good, and the production date closest to present is in the factory in 2006. However, Apple has no longer provided support or released a security patch. Apple wants you to upgrade, and in the emergence of the problem, you have no choice.
